Key Points

To compare safety and refractive outcomes between handheld femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and manual phacoemulsification using monofocal IOLs.
Retrospective study of 9 patients comparing H-FLACS and manual phacoemulsification
Assessment of visual outcomes and safety between the two techniques
Visual outcomes of H-FLACS showed comparable efficacy to manual phacoemulsification
Safety profiles of both techniques were evaluated but specific metrics were not provided

Implication

Retrospective study compares visual outcomes of H-FLACS with manual phacoemulsification, highlighting potential benefits for patients.

Abstract

Purpose: To compare the techniques and refractive outcomes of H-FLACS with CCC, when using monofocal IOLs. To note, H-FLACS are fully mobile, handheld, suction-free and very significantly price efficient compared to traditional FLACS current generation. Methods: A retrospective study of 9 patients [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
